FOLLOWING the success of a northern soul night at Radcliffe Civic Suite last year, the organisers are now hosting a similar shindig again. And they're hoping it will become a regular event on the social calendar.

The next northern soul/motown celebration takes place on Friday, February 19, and features ex-Wigan casino DJ Chris King and current local favourites Alan Barnes from the Viaduct Club, Lester from Trentham Gardens and resident DJ Neil Jones.

According to the promoters: "The 70s saw northern soul in its heyday, and hundreds of those now 30-something soulies are rediscovering the excitement and energy of this enduring cult scene. Radcliffe Civic Suite has been praised by ex-Wigan Casino regulars as a brilliant new venue for northern soul nights, with a massive wooden dancefloor, car parking and metrolink facilities nearby."

Tickets for the event, priced £3, available on 0161 253 7812 or £4 on the door. Doors open at 8pm, with five hours of non-stop floorshaking soul.
